Using your Finger Tight Won't go further than the "0" lash.....
THEN count the revolutions you make tightening (pushes against closed valve).... MUST be done very accurately.I used SE slender tapers... You need to KNOW how many threads per inch the rods are.
(fine=32 per" corse=24 per") adjustables with the cam in a netural position (other lifter side coming up will do).
Finger tighen on a low point of the cam is "0" lash... You WILL feel that position easily.... Finger Tight and then it take wrenches to move the Prod and begin the task of tightening. COUNTING each flat or full turn the rod makes.
Use the suggested turns like it
will state in the instructions of the adjustable pushrods you bought.
Usually it will be 2.5 full turns OR 3.1 or .2 flats (partial turns) DEPENDING on THREAD COUNT....
ON MINE suggesting 2.5
I Use 3.1 turn because I want My lifters set there. and they work better for me....... SE255 cams
Over tightening here will hold the valve open and damage could result,,,, not enough and the valve will be Noisy.
There are Video's on U tube that show the process and I would suggest to Look BEFORE you start so you will SEE how it is done.
Simple IF DONE Correctly...
After adjustment is finished,,, Nut locked,, The lifter MUST sit in that position UNTIL You can easily spin the pushrod. Correctly tightened it will NOT spin for many minutes......
DON't move the engine at all until it spining freely by the FINGER not a wrench...:small3d031:
Sorry I could not locate a video for you... There are many out there. Look and watch.....
Some one may have one to post here....Patience
